Antonyms

This KS2 English quiz will challenge you to find antonyms. Antonyms are words which have opposite meanings. People enjoy thinking in opposites. Arguing, debating, and sometimes being 'contrary' just for its own sake, are all popular human activities. It would be very hard to argue or debate without antonyms!

There are many words in the English language that will have an antonym such as yes and no; right and wrong; good and bad. There are also plenty of words that don’t have an antonym. One such word is ‘spider’. Can you think of any others?

See if you can spot antonym pairs by trying this English quiz.
